20 weeks!

I'm halfway there! I can't believe I'm already 20 weeks along! I am definitely showing and am now wearing maternity clothes. Last weekend Brian and I went to Chicago to visit my family and to attend Hannah's (my niece) baptism. It was very special especially since Brian was her Godfather! I have included a picture of my family at the baptism. It was so fun to spend time with Hannah, she is so cute! She has grown so much since I saw her last. I love her chubby cheeks and hearing her laugh and talk. I can't wait to have one of my own!
While I was at my parent's house I felt the baby move for the first time. It was so cool! It feels like bubbles in my stomach. Now the baby is moving all the time!! We find out tomorrow the sex, hopefully! So far most people think it's a boy. Brian and I are just so anxious to find out! We will be so happy either way as long as the baby is healthy. Once we find out the sex, let the shopping begin!!

I woke up at 18 weeks and noticed that my stomach had really grown! It makes sense because I have been eating everything in sight! I just had spring break where I was able to spend lots of time with Daisy. We went for many walks and to the Cieslik cabin for a day. She is going to be very upset when I go back to work.
Yesterday Brian said, "Wow your stomach has really grown! It looks like you are pregnant, this is getting real!" We are so excited to find out in 2 weeks if we are having a boy or girl! I think it's a girl and Brian thinks it's a boy...we will see soon!
This week my allergies have been really bad. The doc said I could take Benedryl but that just knocks me out! Hopefully I will start to feel better.
Brian and I are exited to go to Chicago for the weekend for our niece Hannah's baptism. I was able to Skype with her and my mom last week which was really fun! I was able to see her smile and laugh and can't wait to see her in person soon.

Here is a picture of me and Daisy at 16 weeks. Daisy looks a little happier, she is coming to terms with the new addition! I went to the doctor for a check in and he said everything looks great! Brian came with me and we both were able to hear the heartbeat, right away! We scheduled our appointment for our 20 week ultrasound (April 26th) where hopefully we will be able to find out the sex of the baby. Right now I think it's a girl and Brian thinks it's a boy. We can't wait to know for sure and then start to look at names and the most fun, decorate the nursery!
One of my students told me that my stomach was getting bigger although right now I can still fit into my regular clothes. I am ready to feel the baby move and to get more of a baby bump!
